Circuitmicro ripoff Scheisters of the highest order. watch your wallet Forest Lake California

Randy, it's a basic business law that if for whatever reason a company CANNOT DELIVER the promised merchandise by the promised delivery date, the buyer is entitled to cancel the deal with a FULL REFUND of anything paid so far. The buyer might instead agree to a later delivery date or equivalent substitute merchandise, but that is totally the buyer's choice. Don't cry a river about the manufacturer discontinuing the product. That is the chance you take.

I've been to the Circuit Micro site and read the inane policies. They were apparently written by Randy himself as they contain numerous mistakes in grammar, spelling, and word usage that he has done here. In order to set up a convincing scam, hire professional writers. Anyone who did read these policies hopefully noticed the mistakes that would make a 6th grade English teacher cringe, and the general theme of "no refunds." I suspect most of the visitors to the Circuit Micro site decided not to give Randy any of their money on the false promise of a computer, plasma TV, etc. Also there is no phone number or physical address posted anywhere on the site. Another dead giveaway of a rip-off company.

Companies that "finance" "anyone" are ALWAYS a rip-off. No legit business would survive by selling on credit without checking the buyers' credit history, since this practice would strongly attract buyers who are inclined to never pay.

There are two classes of these rip-offs. First is the one that is a pure rip-off; no merchandise is ever delivered, and no refunds are granted. Circuit Micro appears to be in this class. The oft-reported "Financing Alternatives" company also appears to be using this model. The second one does actually ship some merchandise, but demands a considerable down payment first. Since the products are either just plain overpriced, or they are cheap knock-offs or discontinued items, the down payment ends up being approximately the true "street price" of the product. The company doesn't mind too much if the buyer doesn't make any further payments, as the product is already paid for with the down payment. Examples of this type are the subprime and "buy here, pay here" car lots, and the "catalog credit cards" like USA Platinum, and possibly Circuit Micro. Either way, I don't recommend that anyone deal with Circuit Micro.

Also I'm having a hard time understanding how Circuit Micro has taken a loss on the Carla deal. They've taken a bunch of her money and delivered NOTHING. Must be either a lack of business acumen on Randy's part, or some very brilliant Enron-style accounting going on.

Yes,
The computer was backordered, and this happens from time to time. It is a normal event,
there is nothing us or anyone else even if they stood on their head can do about it.

We are not the manufacture.

Further more the contract had stipulations of a down payment to be paid, which only a fraction off has been made, also there was a schedule for these partial payments, that has not been kept. The down payment has to be paid in full, and paid on time before any delivery will take place.
This is not nagotiatiable.

Since the computer was on back order, and if you look at your finance agreement, yes the water damamged one. The product delivery is not until JUNE 2004 which was 30 days after the last part of the down payment has been made.

Unfortunately, these types of complaints, are not going to speed up delivery, nor will bouncing the checks to pay for the down payment.
To get a new contract to you to choose a different computer was a courtesey, so you don't have to do at the last minute.
There are too many bounced checks, for delivery at this point.
The contract has be charged off our books and written off as a loss.
